Hi, |
| 2 |
I looked at this tool. It allows me to patch the bios table w/ resolution and bpp value - but not with the rest of the mode line timings. How can I change that? |
| 3 |
Furthermore I'm using a SUN GDM5410 monitor - which seems to have nonstandard timings... |
| 4 |
still puzzled, |

I've just set up this card on my new laptop, to get the highest resolution |
| 34 |
you need to emerge 915resolution which patches the video bios, if I |
| 35 |
understand correctly Try searching on the wiki for this package for the |
| 36 |
exact details of how to set it up properly. I didn't find it difficult to do |
